Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. President Trump at the United Nations

Focus: Trump’s UN address, America’s global posture, Middle East peace, UN skepticism

• Setting the Stage (03:47–06:50):

  • Trump to address the UN at 9:50am ET; panel anticipates sharp criticism of global institutions, affirmation of “America First” values, and skepticism about the efficacy and spending of the UN.
  • David Brody: “He’s basically gonna say, ’You’re not doing a good job.’ He’s gonna rail against global institutions like the United Nations… They’ve already cut a billion dollars to the UN. Biden gave $13 billion, Trump projected to cut $4 billion more in a second term.” (04:22)
  • Dr. Gina: “If there’s one thing the UN stands for, it’s getting a whole lot of nothing done for a whole lot of money that doesn’t need to be spent.” (05:44)

• UN “Behind the Scenes” & Arab States (06:50–08:14):

  • Focus on back-channel and off-camera meetings, especially with Arab leaders.
  • Panel expects discussions about rebuilding Gaza and pressuring Hamas, with skepticism over the UN’s ability to enforce or broker real solutions.

• Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s Perspective (25:55–34:32):

  • Strongly critical of UN recognition of a Palestinian state without clear leadership or defined borders:

    "There’s more power in a lawnmower than in all of the United Nations put together. It’s the ultimate form of hypocrisy for them to say they’re going to declare a Palestinian state. Where is it going to be? Who’s going to lead it? What are the boundaries? Show me the map. They can’t do any of it. All they have done is empower Hamas." – Mike Huckabee (26:35)

  • Affirms Israel’s global value to the US: "Most Americans don’t understand what Israel does for us—it’s not a one-way street. Military hardware, intelligence—America is kept safer by this partnership." (30:50)
  • Highlights Arab League's recent call for Hamas to disarm and release hostages, contrasting with European moves to recognize Palestinian statehood.

---

2. Domestic Politics: Government Shutdown Looms

Focus: Congressional gridlock, continuing resolution, intra-party rifts

• Rep. Mark Alford on Budget Stalemate (12:41–16:18):
  • Blames Democrats and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for lack of action, predicts a brief shutdown:

    “This will be a Schumer shutdown if it happens… We’ve already shot down their proposal to add $1.4 trillion more to the debt... It’s always tougher to open back up the government than it is to shut it down.” – Rep. Mark Alford (13:22)

  • Stresses that House Republicans have advanced appropriations bills and are determined to avoid Democratic priorities, such as Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants.

---

3. Health Policy Controversy: Tylenol & Autism

Focus: White House warning, autism research, medical debate

• White House Advisory (10:51–12:39):
  • Trump and RFK Jr. issue warning about Tylenol (acetaminophen) use in pregnancy being linked to increased autism risk.
  • Rep. Alford: “If Tylenol… doesn’t cause every case of autism, but if it’s causing a portion—shouldn’t we be warning mothers to be?” (12:21)
• Critical Medical Opinions:
  • Dr. Thorpe (The Wellness Company):

    “They overrate the contribution of Tylenol and underrate the effects of the vaccine. At the wellness company, some of us are calling this operation Tylenol smokescreen.” (41:16)

  • Dr. Peter Hilgartner (Integrative Medicine):

    “Yes, acetaminophen is certainly implicated because it depletes glutathione, a key immune antioxidant, but the broader issue is toxic exposures in early childhood—a problem for the future of America.” (99:06)

• Panel Consensus:
  • Applaud increased research and transparency but note the need for comprehensive scrutiny of both pharmaceuticals and vaccines in relation to autism (105:41).

---

4. Culture War: Language, Gender, and Wokeness

Focus: NATO terminology changes, defense of traditional roles

• NATO’s “Woke” Language Policy (49:14–53:54):
  • NATO bans “airmen,” “servicemen,” “manning,” etc., replacing them with gender-neutral alternatives.
  • Panel reactions range from dismissive (“Just words—focus on real issues”) to critical of the incremental cultural shift:

    “When you change the language, you change the culture… This is more than just woke—it’s intentional.” – David Brody (51:45)

  • Dr. Gina defends traditional gender roles and biblical family structure; panel discusses the importance of language:

    “I love my role as a woman… There is no other role in the world that gets to be a conduit by which God sends life itself.” – Dr. Gina (52:31)

---

5. The Charlie Kirk Assassination Aftermath

Focus: Ongoing FBI investigation, skepticism, healing and mobilization

• FBI Investigates Further (73:47–78:31):

  • Chief White House Correspondent Brian Glenn relays that the FBI (Dir. Kash Patel) is probing possible accomplices, examining crowd behavior, gun logistics, and alternate theories.
  • Co-hosts and guests express ongoing skepticism and call for thorough answers:

    “Every day, I get 50 friends sending me: There’s no way that guy shot Charlie, at least not the actual death blow… I’m glad the FBI isn’t closing the books.” – Dr. Gina (73:47)

• Faith and Political Legacy (57:45–61:47):

  • Victor Marks, ATP Ministries, on the “awakening” after Kirk’s death:

    “God knows how to take what Satan meant for the worst, to destroy, and turn it really for his glory, which is a miracle in itself.” (58:54)

  • A call for churches to be ready to welcome the newly awakened, foster truth, and fill the spiritual and cultural void stirred by the tragedy.

---

6. Economic and Social Headlines

Focus: Markets, business headlines, media balance

• Market Segment (84:07–86:26):
  • Jake Novak discusses Nvidia’s $100 billion AI investment, Spirit Airlines’ struggles blamed on Biden admin policies blocking mergers, and shifts in beer market share post-Bud Light backlash.
• Media “Swamp”:
  • FCC chair Brendan Carr raises the question of whether The View should count as “news” due to lack of balance, possibly invoking equal time rules (81:14–82:11).

[A]

Welcome to American Sunrise.

[B]

Whether it's culture.

[A]

We have breaking news to share with you.

[B]

Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

[A]

The American dream is still alive.

[B]

I'm David Brody. I'm terrence.

[A]

And I'm Dr. Gina. Good morning. I'm Dr. Gina. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody. He's in Washington, D.C. and Terrence Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good Morning, gentlemen.

[B]

Hello, Dr. G. And David. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So look, guys, a lot of our coverage this morning is going to be looking at the United Nations. President Trump, of course, is set to address the United Nations General assembly about 9:50, maybe just a couple of minutes after that. But the moment he takes the podium, we'll take you there, David. And Dr. Gina, I have to admit, while I'm interested in what the president has to say during that address, I think I'm a bit more interested in some of the multilateral and bilateral meetings, meetings that he's going to be having on the sidelines of the United General, United Nations General assembly meeting. I'm curious to see what the outcome there will be. David, I'd like to start with you, though, your expectations for what we'll hear from the president today. More importantly, what is it that you want to hear from the president today? Yeah, a couple of things. First of all, the Arab leaders meeting on the sidelines with President Trump. That'll be definitely, I think, the most interesting part, maybe the most significant part of all of this. As for the U.N. i mean, maybe he'll start with the fact that he doesn't like the marble that the UN has because it's cheap. And he's actually said that he says, you know, you got to do a better job with the marble, number one. No, look, what he's going to do is basically say you're not doing a good job. You know, he's, he's going to rail against global institutions like the United Nations. Look, they've already cut a couple of billion dollars already, at least $1 billion from giving it to the UN roughly. The Trump administration, the first time around, his first term, gave $10 billion to the United Nations. Biden gave about 13 billion do billion this time around projections are that the President Trump in his second term will probably give $4 billion less than he did in the first term. So that's, that's good. So we'll wait and see what he has to say. But obviously, what he says to those countries that want a Palestinian state, I think that to me will be obviously the highlight and the news coming out of the speech. Dr. G. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, these meetings are really always about the meetings behind the meetings. Right. It's never really about the meetings that we're going to see. It's about the conversations that happen back channel. And with President Trump, this is really one of his least favorite things to do. He's like a kid being dragged to the principal soft. He's like, all right, I guess I got to do this and placate these people. But he isn't a big believer. He doesn't believe in big government. He has to go through the motions here. And he'll be criticized almost no matter what he does by the same players that he's always been criticized by. And the bottom line is he doesn't like the bureaucracy. He likes, he likes where you just go in and you get things done. And if there's one thing the UN Stands for, it's getting a whole lot of nothing done for a whole lot of money that doesn't need to be spent. Not his bailiwick. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

And let's remember, he's already pulled out of the World Health Organization, UN Run, Human Rights Council and all of that. So, I mean. Yeah. And by the way, President Trump does not like prompter. And this is a speech that you typically have to be on prompter for. He said, oh, my gosh, you gotta be kidding me. He's like literally read, fall asleep during this time.

[A]

I hope they have a lot of strawberry starburst in the back for him because that's, that's, that's, that's his. I think that's his guilty pleasure. But anyway, before we go any further, a word of hope for this morning on Tuesday, of course, from the Bible. Psalm 68:19. Blessed be the Lord who daily bears us up. God is our salvation. Great promises throughout the book, especially Psalms. If you ever just place to go in and read. You know, a lot of people say, you know, open the Bible and just let it fall open and see what happens. Yeah, no, I don't recommend that because you will for sure end up in Leviticus or in one of the Somebody begat somebody. Right. So Psalms and Proverbs are always a Good place to open up to Romans is great too, if you just need that encouragement. President Trump takes the world stage. In about two hours. We here at RAV will bring you live coverage. Expectations, strength, Expect America first, expect American exceptionalism, Expect pushback on the UN's Israel bashing. For more, let's bring in Missouri Congressman Mark Alford. Congressman? Yeah, this isn't where he wants to be today. It always cracks me up. He always just looks like a little bit of a frustrated, you know, somebody being put upon when he's there and annoyed the whole entire time. It's a real contrast to see him in that element as opposed to other elements. What are your expectations?

[B]

Well, I don't think he's going to be taking any gold appliques from the Oval Office to stick behind him on that green wall, but that green wall is ugly. I get where President Trump is coming from and I also think, you know, the meetings that he's going to have with these Arab leaders is significant. What are, what is the world, what is the Arab world going to do with Gaza? The idf, under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu I think is going to finish the. Despite others, including some of our allies, trying to declare Palestine a state, which it is not. The solution, the two state solution has far gone beyond, you know, when Yasser Arafat was presented that option and initially took it and then retreated on that idea because he felt like he would be assassinated by his own people if they went with the two state solution. They want to be in conflict, but Israel has every right to live in peace with its neighbors. They have every right to finish off Hamas. And now the rebuilding will begin soon. And I think this is one of the things that President Trump is going to be concentrating on with the Arab leaders who we've talked with as well. President of Egypt and King of Jordan. How will the Arab world help in rebuilding with some sane, responsible leadership in that region that can be good neighbors for Israel. Yeah, no doubt. Congressman. The big story domestically this morning is that the president delivered a major address on autism Tylenol yesterday with RFK to side Memonaz as well. Take a look at this. Tylenol during pregnancy can be associated with a very increased risk of autism. So taking Tylenol is not good. I'll say it, it's not good. For this reason, they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary. That's for instance, in cases of extremely high fever that you feel you can't tough it out. You can't do it. I guess there's that. It's a small number of cases. I think my brain goes in weird places. When he said Tylenol made me think of when the Princess Bride marriage, you know, but anyhow, I don't know why. It just made me think that. Anyhow. All right, go ahead. Go for it. What do you think?

[A]

Wait, Mark, can I ask Congressman, as David's asking you this question, because I'm just watching this so amused because President Trump, you could tell this is just again, this is not his forte, but I love that he did this because he listened to the American people, to people like me who were.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

And a lot of others who were in his ear constantly about this stuff. He could barely even pronounce the words. He's so not interested. This is just not the economics. The economics, like, he loves that stuff, but this wasn't his thing. But he did it anyway.

[B]

You know, I have a tough time pronouncing a seat of menophen myself.

[A]

Yes, it is not.

[B]

Especially when you see it up on a teleprompter in a script. It's not an easy word. I remember when I was anchoring, there was a script that came up about the birthday of Copernicus, and I pronounced it Copernicus. Never lived that one down. Look, I am glad that the president is doing something about autism. The rates now 1 in 31 for newborns to have autism is just, it's reprehensible. And for us not to take a good hard look at this. Look, this may be correlation, it may be causation, but the White House is taking an active role to provide labels on these products, also making the therapeutics available and they're increasing research investment. This is a big deal for American families, some families having two and three children with autism. So we've got to figure out what is going on with this. If Tylenol, which came on the market, I think, in the 1950s and autism was first diagnosed in the 1940s, it doesn't mean Tylenol is causing every case of autism. But if it's causing a portion of that, shouldn't we be taking a look at that and shouldn't we be warning mothers to be.

[A]

And vaccines.

[B]

All right, all right, Congressman, so now it's time for the tougher questions. When, when it comes to me, I'm going to ask about the budget. We're what, seven days away from a potential deadline? Where do we stand? What's happening behind the scenes with you and your colleagues? I was reading one Report that was saying it's looking like there may actually be a. A government closure, that there's dissension within the Republican ranks right now. Please set the record straight for us. Well, we've done our job, Terrence. The Republicans voted for a continuing resolution to take November 21st. The ball is now in Chuck Schumer's court. So it doesn't matter if there's talk within our conference about how do we navigate Schumer shutdown. This will be a Schumer shutdown if it happens. Hakeem Jeffries has signaled that he wants to have the Democrat House members back on the 29th so they could be ready to do something. I don't know what they're going to do. We've already shot down their proposal to add $1.4 trillion more to the debt through this CR. They want to put, by the way, illegal aliens back on Medicaid. That ain't happening, okay? And so we are protecting the American people. We are making reforms to Medicaid that make sense. We're putting in measures that will make sure that that program stays sustainable. And so this CR will get us through. We did our work also on the appropriations process. This is my first term on appropriations. We got all 12 through the committee. We got three of them passed on the House floor. Now they are going to conference with the Senate. So we are making progress. We need a little more time to get this done. And I've never been more hopeful since I've been there that we're going to get back to regular order. I know it's not perfect right now, but we are making progress. And in Washington, D.C. when you can make progress, that's a big deal. So what is your gut feeling? Is Chuck Schumer going to derail this thing? Is he going to force a shutdown or do Terrence? He's got to. Because in his eyes, he is very vulnerable for a primary, perhaps from aoc. You know, she's talking about running for president. I don't think that's going to happen, but she could very well run against Schumer for that Senate seat. And, you know, last spring, when he supposedly gave in to Republicans and did the right thing by keeping the government open and functioning, he caught, you know, a lot of grief for that. And so he's got to put up a fight. I predict he will shut the government down. It'll be the Schumer shut down for about a week or so to kind of prove that he's still has a little muscle. And then and then the, the business will be about reopening the government. What will they want in return to open the government. We're not giving them anything they want when it comes to added putting illegal aliens back on Medicaid. But it's always tougher to open back up the government than it is to shut it down, I will tell you that. And typically Republicans get the blame for that. Not this time around. I think the media, who's taken the side of the Democrats for so long, is seeing through this charade that Chuck Schumer's Schumer shutdown is presenting. And the American people, I think, on the, on the side of Republicans in this, even those like me who hate continuing resolutions, I know you do as well. But this is a step in the right direction so we can return to regular order and get things done the right way under the leadership of Tom Cole and our Appropriations Committee and our speaker, Mike Johnson.

[A]

It didn't seem to me like that was a hard question at all. For you at least. Congressman, thank you so much for being with us.

President Trump is back on the world stage today as he is set to deliver remarks before the United Nations General assembly within the next couple of hours. White House press secretary Caroline Levitt says the president will tout the renewal of American strength around the world. He'll also highlight his efforts to help end several wars. 47 expected to use the podium to lay out his thoughts on how globalist institutions have significantly decayed the world order. Levitt says he'll, quote, articulate his straightforward and constructive vision for the world after being front and center before the UN General Assembly. The commander in chief will then go behind closed doors for one on one meetings with the UN Secretary General, along with leaders from Ukraine, Argentina and the European Union, along with some Arab leaders. Jimmy Kimmel is set to return to the airwaves tonight this following a suspension over comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. ABC initially said the show was being said suspended indefinitely, but didn't about face on Monday saying, quote, we have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy and after those conversations we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday. Television station ownership groups Next Star and Sinclair, which are two of the largest ABC affiliate owners, both pulled Jimmy Kimmel live from their affiliates following Kimmel's off kilter comments. Sinclair is already out with the statement saying that despite ABC's decision, it will continue airing news programming instead of Kimmel's show tonight and for the foreseeable future. There's still no word what NextStar plans to do. That's a quick check of your headlines. Now let's get a quick check of your forecast from coast to coast. Weather Nation meteorologist Adrian Hernandez joining us. Adrian, good morning, my friend. Good morning, Terrence. And we're tracking loads of severe weather. The potential for it all across the country today and mainly going to stay down in Arkansas. It's all associated with this frontal boundary that continues to move down towards the south. Better look at the timing of all this. We got some nasty storms over by Missouri at around noontime today. But as the front continues to descend as we get into the early evening hours and close to the nighttime hours by around 9pm on Tuesday, that's where we're seeing the better chance for severe weather down by Arkansas, of course, coverage all the way across Illinois, all the way down to Kentucky and Tennessee will persist across this low pressure center all the way through today. All the rain we're seeing will be associated with this front as it continues to move off towards the east, giving us better rain chances all the way through Wednesday and pushing most of the moisture out towards the east coast later on this work week into Thursday and Friday. So we do have flood alerts extending from Celina all the way down to Fort Smith, Little Rock as well. We also have the potential for significant hail and severe weather in the highlighted yellow where the better chances for severe weather lie.

But next, tensions are rising and decisions are looming when it comes to the Middle East. Former Arkansas governor and current ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee is on the way. Looking forward to the conversation with him. But first, a quick look at this day in history. It was on this day in 1875 that Old west legend Billy the Kid was arrested for the first time after stealing a basket of laundry. While he later broke out of jail and roamed the American west, eventually earning a reputation as an outlaw and a murderer and a rap sheet that included some 21 murders.

There it is. And could you replace the green carpet? I mean, what is it, 1974? Is Jimmy Carter speaking today? No, President Trump is 9:50am Eastern time. Everybody buckle up, though we will be on prompter. Womp, womp. Hopefully he ad libs. Yeah, I don't know about that. Welcome back, folks. All right, the UN General assembly kicks off today. Obviously, President Trump taking the stage a little before 10am Eastern. A new America projecting strength, projecting power once again. The US And Israel, shoulder to shoulder. And yes, Israel is target number one for the U.N. for sure. Joining us now is the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. Mr. Ambassador, welcome back to American Sunrise. Thanks for being here. Hey, it's great to be with you. And greetings from the holy city of Jerusalem today. I tell you what, if I could pop popcorn and share it with the world, I'd make sure that everybody had some in preparation for President Trump's speech at the UN My guess is he's going to set fire to the place. Yeah. I was going to ask you, when you say set fire to the place, what do you think that entails? I mean, these countries talking about a Palestinian state. Oh, let me get this straight. Hamas does what they did on October 7th. And here's an idea. Let's reward them with a Palestinian state. What in the world? What will he do? What do you think he'll say today? Good morning. You know, I don't have the text in front of me, so I don't know exactly what he's going to do. But our president loves to go into a forum like this and just speak truth to. I would say power, but there's no power in this. There's more power in a lawnmower than in all of the United nations put together. It is the ultimate form of hypocrisy for them to say they're going to declare a Palestinian state. And I'm thinking, really? In what way? Where is it going to be? Who's going to lead it? What are the boundaries? Show me the map. They can't do any of it. All they have done is empower Hamas. They have shut down any way to deliver some kind of issue with the impasse of financial consideration between Israel and Palestinian Authority. And what they've done. They've emboldened Israel to begin thinking about declaring sovereignty over greater parts of Judea and Samaria. So whatever they thought they were going to do, I have a feeling it is actually resulting in the polar opposite of it.

[A]

Well, Ambassador, first, congratulations. I don't know that we've had you on the show since everything has gone your way and you were one of the first groupings, it seems to me, to be confirmed and there's just nobody better. I think all of, I think America felt a great sigh of relief when you became the ambassador to Israel and you came into your ambassadorship at perhaps the most critical time in our recent history. Anyway, in anti Israel sentiment is at fever pitch somehow in the United States, especially with Gen Z. And it's odd because the assassination of Charlie Kirk has been, you know, so uniting in some ways, but it has fueled accusations against Mossad. And while in so many ways Charlie inspired America, as I said, his death has somehow been used by Israel's opposition to deepening this divide. Tucker Carlson, Kay Anda Owens. We've heard they've moved decidedly into a corner that many didn't see coming. But there are many others and you have remained steadfast in Israel's corner. What do you wish, Ambassador, that America understood that isn't being explained by Netanyahu or American pundits and politicians?

[B]

Well, I wish the lies would stop and the truth would get going because there's a lot of truth most Americans don't understand. And the biggest truth is that it's not what America is doing for Israel because a lot of Americans think that, oh, we do so much for Israel. What they don't understand is what Israel does for us. It is not a one way street. There are so many ways in which the average American really benefits from the partnership we have with Israel. Not just in technology, but military hardware, intelligence. America is kept safer because they share with us, Israel does levels of intelligence that is very beneficial to our counterterrorism activities. They also share military hardware that quite frankly we don't have to pay for its development because Israel spends the billions upon billions of dollars developing out of necessity so they don't get annihilated by people like Iran. And America gets the benefit of that. So our defense mechanisms are much better off. And a lot of people still don't get it. Every one of Israel's enemies that's also an American enemy. Iran is constantly set for 46 years. Israel, it's the little Satan. We're the great Satan. So what they're saying is Israel is the appetizer, but America is the entree. And we better remember that, because even in this recent war of the 12 days, back in June and July, thank goodness President Trump sent the B2s. It finished the aspiration for Iran to have nuclear capacity. But right now, I'm watching these European nations lose their minds. They're joining with some of these people on the far crazy fringe in America who blame Israel for everything. I mean, to blame him or even to associate Charlie Kirk's death with Israel is not just wrong, it's insane and it's hurtful. And Charlie Kirk loved Israel. He's been here many times. I remember when he was here, the day I was on the day the embassy was moved in 2018. So it's irrational kind of hatred toward the Jewish people and toward Israel. Ambassador, before we let you go, we've got to talk about President Trump's meeting on the sidelines of the United nations today with Arab leaders. What role, and I think you've got a unique perspective as the US Ambassador to Israel. What role do the Arab nations have in securing the Middle east, specifically trying to help bring about peace, a ceasefire, an easement of tensions between Israel and Hamas? Arabs, they've been supposedly involved in negotiations, but not much has changed. If we're real, if we're just being honest, it's the stubbornness of Hamas that's kept this going. The good news is that the Arab League unanimously adopted a resolution not very long ago in which they called upon Hamas to unilaterally disarm and to release not a few, but all of the hostages. Now, they were doing that while the European nations, people like Macron and Starmer over in the UK were basically rewarding Hamas and giving them an attaboy and saying they're going to recognize a Palestinian state, which they don't even have the power to do, which violates Oslo. I mean, it's insane what they're doing. So it was kind of interesting that you have the Arab League calling on their cousins in Gaza, put down your arms, let the hostages go. And all the pressure that Europeans want to put is on, rather on Israel, rather than putting the pressure on Hamas where it ought to be. Yeah. Governor Mike Huckabee, it's great to have you. You and I have had this conversation privately where I said I wanted you to be president and darn it, South Carolina, whatever, don't get me started. But the point is, for such a time as this, for you to be in this, at this critical juncture in United States history. Boy, we're so thankful you were there. Thank you for being here. Absolutely. Thank you. Great to be with you. Hope to be back soon.

[A]

God bless you, Ambassador.

All right. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. This music is cracking me up. Thank you for joining us. Time now for today's health news, brought to you by the Wellness Company. And under the microscope today, a new study. Don't trust all studies you read. This one wants you to believe that fat but fit could be less deadly than being underweight. Try to think about who might have paid for this study. This study tracked 85,000 people. It says in saying that being underweight is nearly three times deadlier than being fat. Even the low end of healthy bmi, they say, showed higher risks. Researchers say fat but fit is safer than too thin. Of course, Big Pharma has a lot more to gain in keeping people fat. So watch your sources on studies like this one. I did this just to let you know that you can watch your sources figure out who paid for it because you can always follow the money. I've noticed that thin people seem to be much healthier and live longer. And so thin and fit may be the answer to longevity since we know obesity is deadly and we know that every single time you take a blood pressure medicine or an Alzheimer's medication or a heart medication or a diabetes medication, there's a lot of money in that. So the industry that is Big Pharma has a lot to gain by telling you that fat is better. The Wellness Company is here to give you the tools and experts to live stronger though, and we are blessed to have them. There's a new administration in Washington, D.C. and they brought a lot of positive changes when it comes to to fixing our broken health care system. The reality is that there's only so much government can do though, if we really want to make America healthy again, it's going to start at home with each of us. And that's where the Wellness Company comes in. You see and hear from their doctors on this network all the time and you know their products are the gold standard to keep you safe and healthy. They give you, make you prepared for whatever happens with their series of prescription medical kits. These kits contain an assortment of flight life saving medications and guidebooks that assist in the use of the medications in the kit. Also, the Wellness Company offers a variety of products from parasite cleanses to methylene blue to weight loss and more that help you stay healthy and live a longer, more satisfying life. Make America healthy again. We hear it every day, but it starts at home. Do your part. Protect the health of yourself and your family. Go to TWC Health RAV. Give it an order. That's TWC Health RAV. Use the promo code RAV. That will save you 10%. 10%. Joining us now from the wellness company is Dr. James Thorpe. He is chief of Maternal and prenatal Health. Doctor, welcome back to American Sunrise. I laughed when I saw this study. I really want to educate everyone to look at who pays for studies. Now they're trying to convince us that they have a study with 85,000 people that says that fat is better than thin. I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with where their funding comes from, right?

[B]

Dr. You're absolutely right, Gina. And thank you very much for having me on my favorite morning show. Yes, you're right. This is absolute nonsense. The data is clear. An ideal body weight is much healthier and much safer. Now they're using buzzwords like underweight. So we have to look at their nonsense and their shenanigans for shifting around definitions.

[A]

Yeah. Well, I have to absolutely ask you about the big breaking news, probably the biggest breaking news since we've been watching this whole Maha thing go down. And that, of course, is actual research being done. Imagine that. And they're saying, hey, you know, there might be things that cause autism that we've never studied. Tell us, doctor. This is big news for the wellness company.

[B]

It is. And in one way, It's a success. Dr. Gina. In another way, it's extraordinarily disconcerting because as I look at that White House briefing, I was not happy. What they're doing is overrating the contribution of Tylenol, which. And underrating the effects of the vaccine. We, I should say we at the wellness Company, at least some of us, are calling this operation Tylenol smokescreen. They underestimate the horrible damage that vaccines have done, and they try to cover it up with Tylenol. Listen, they didn't have an obstetrician gynecologist up there, okay? All they talked about was Tylenol and pregnancy. Yes, there are some concerning data, but it's the vaccines and pregnancy that should never be taken. And it's a vaccine schedule in the first 12 months of life that are causing the autism.

[A]

And that makes so much sense to me. I'm so glad you said this, because I realized that you. So many children are born perfectly normal, right? And then they go and they get the vaccine. So if the cause were always Tylenol, it doesn't make sense that I believe the statistics I've read, Dr. Thorpe, and you can correct me on this. This is your absolute area of expertise. 80% of autism cases are onset after birth. So it doesn't make sense necessarily. Maybe in that 20%, it's possible, might be a genetic cause, might be other things. But we're talking about the, really, the lock, stock and barrel of autism cases are caused by something we're doing to children after they're born.

[B]

That's right. They might be primed by Tylenol during pregnancy, but it's. You should never take a vaccine in pregnancy. Never ever. There's no long term data. But let me say this, that those pregnant women that are getting vaccines and having symptoms, fever and taking Tylenol, they may be amplifying the damage to their preborn.

[A]

Let me ask you this. The wellness company. Are you getting a lot of calls from parents that want a detoxification for their babies? And is that something the wellness company does? Because we haven't really talked about that on this show.

[B]

Yes, I think that that's something that is very important. The detoxification mechanisms in the newborn, arguably in the fetus, they're more robust because they're connected to mommy. Right. But after birth, when that umbilical cord is cut, these babies are extremely at risk and much more vulnerable to vaccine injury and to detoxification for a variety of reasons. So, yes, we at the wellness center are focusing on that wellness and we're exposing what we call, we assign military names for these bogus movements and this is their administration as Operation Tylenol Smokescreen.

[A]

So for those still suffering from the side effects of COVID and all the spike proteins, I know I have the ultimate spike detox sitting right in front of me. I take one every single day when I get on set. And it really does help with those symptoms. But Ivermectin is another big thing that we weren't even allowed to talk about a few years ago. And now it's a big, big seller at the wellness company because people really need that treatment.

[B]

It's really big. And by the way, Dr. Gina, I suspect you look terrific, your skin looks terrific. And you are probably well aware that many mascara products, high end, have had Ivermectin in them. And now it's a wellness company. We have an Ivermectin cream and we also have a standalone Ivermectin pill whereby you can adjust your ivermectin doses. And it's very cheap, it's very effective and very high quality.

[A]

That is so much better than the Ivermectin horse paste that I was stirring into my tea during COVID trying to take it. Thank God for Wellness Company and thank you for helping us sift through this breaking news that I think is going to continue to break. Look, the good news is RFK is there. He's doing some great things and I think we'll have a lot to talk about in the weeks to come. Dr. James Thorpe from the Wellness Company, thank you for all you guys do.

[B]

Thank you so much Dr. Gina for having me on. Look forward to seeing you again. Keep up the great work.

Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn.

[B]

It is time now to stay awake, not woke.

[A]

And in the cup today, NATO's latest.

[B]

Mission, which is banning words.

[A]

NATO has now banned the word airmen. They want it replaced with Air Force personnel. Also out servicemen, guardsmen, even the phrase my guys. The new terms that are acceptable to replace them with are service member, guard, and team.

[B]

Even the phrase manning.

[A]

You now have to say staffing instead. Critics call it a farce, saying NATO should be focused on Russia, not on pronouns. Let's bring in Dr. Gina, David and Terrence for discussion here. Terrence, what are your thoughts on this?

[B]

Oh, man. Oh, I guess I'm already off kilter because I just said that, right? I can't say oh, man. I guess I say have to say oh, people. Yeah. Oh, team. Like, really? Don't we have bigger fish to fry that's coming from the fat guy. So, yeah, I'm bringing in fried fish. But I mean, aren't there bigger issues that we need to be addressing rather than, you know, trying to. To be so sensitive and. And, you know, keep everybody's feelings in mind? I'm over it. I'm so over it. I couldn't care less about whether it's manning or staffing. You know, let's deal with the real issues and keep people safe and make sure that our soldiers and our service members have all the support they need in terms of both equipment as well as in terms of medical care and that kind of stuff moving forward. I couldn't care less about. Let me just. Words. Go ahead. Understand what you're saying in all seriousness. So you're saying you don't care about the issue or you think it's. I understand you think it's stupid that they're doing this, but, like, But I think it's very. I think this issue is actually very important. Are you saying the issue is not important? Is that what you're saying? I don't think the issue is important. I think that the government and that these other agencies are making something out of nothing. I'd prefer the focus be on, again, the equipment that our service members are dealing with and making sure that they've got what they need. I think the focus should be more on making sure. That any soldier have the medical resources that they need. They have that sort of support. The other stuff, to me, is a sideshow for me. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I suspect you disagree. Yeah, I disagree. I mean, I don't think it's a sideshow. I think it's done on purpose. And they're trying to change the culture and trying to change, in essence, kind of the world, if you will, because the language matters and actions matter. And, you know, in 2022-2024, NATO actually said in their documents that they were going to tolerate diversity. That was in 2022. By 2024, they changed the word tolerate, and they said, we're going to promote diversity. You see, this is the slide, if you will, or in their view, progress from tolerate to promote. And so it's a very dangerous situation, what they're doing. And when you change the language, you change the culture. And I want to be very clear. Words do matter. And I think this idea that it's airmen or ha ha, woke. Okay. I think it's a whole lot more than that. I think that this is. Obviously, it's done intentionally. We know that. But seriously, when you start to change the words, then that has power, Dr. G. And I think you got to be very, very careful here.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, that's why I think we just take it back. You know, I use the word master bedroom. I think still like the idea of a master bedroom. I don't need a primary bedroom. I still say thank God for the men who died. I sing that proudly when I sing along with my buddy Lee Greenwood when he sings God Bless the usa. We won't forget the men who died. We know that women died, too. But look, it was mostly men, and it was certainly all men at the beginning of our country, at the foundation of our country. And look, I love my role as a woman. There is no other. No matter how much they they them it to death, there is no other role in the world that gets to be a conduit by which God himself sends life itself. And I think it's a beautiful thing, and I'm proud of my role as a woman. And you can call me a woman all day long. And you know what else you could do, David Brody? You could talk about the biblical role of women and men and how women do have a biblical command right to serve their husbands. And what a lovely visual to think about. A woman serving a husband and a husband protecting that wife, like God himself protects the church. There's just no more Beautiful imagery. I will not stand down while they try to destroy that. I think it's perhaps the most critical argument we have.

[B]

You know, in my house, my wife often reminds me that, yeah, I might be the head of the household, but every head needs a neck, and she's the neck. Yeah. And just to be clear, serve your husband. Okay, Yes, I agree with that. I don't even say the caveat. But God's design is for the husband to love and cherish his wife. And yes, Christ cherished. Christ loved the church. The point is, is that you have. I mean, listen, serving your husband sounds. Let me just simply say this.

[A]

Why should you serve everyone?

[B]

Men need to step up. Yes, but men need to step up. You're not going to serve someone that's not. That's not taking on the biblical role of manhood the way God designed it. There's a. And that has to be pointed out. It's not just serving man just because he's a man. That's not it at all. Not that that's what you're saying, but I'm just saying that it has to be from a biblical point of view. And if it's not, then it's not going to work because that's.

[A]

No, I agree. I agree. Marriages and the sacrifice on the part of the husband, from a biblical perspective is much heavier than the sacrifice on women. And look, we as Christians are called to serve our fellow man and women and everyone around us, our children and everyone. And that's regardless sometimes of how well they're serving us. But certainly in a marriage, for it to work. You're right, David, that overarching men, that umbrella part of it that says the man has to cherish and honor her and protect her like Christmas. That's the most important part. There's no doubt. But these roles are critical and these words are critical. I agree with you as always, Emily.

[B]

How did we get to that?

[A]

I was going to say. Well, great discussion, you guys.

Time now for our moment of faith. It's brought to you, brought to you, brought to me, brought to all of us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible. All right, in Focus today, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Look, it was a horrible tragedy, but it has led to a wave of something much deeper. At her husband's memorial, Erica Kirk spoke not just of loss, but of something stirring across America. For example, people who hadn't opened a Bible in years, people had who had never stepped inside a church, they're now reversing course. They're showing up they're praying, they're seeking God, they're reading the Bible more than they ever have before. Let's unpack that a little bit now. Joining us is Victor Marks, founder and president of ATP Ministries. Victor, great to have you this morning. So there's definitely an awakening, There is a stirring. You wonder what happens next, though, and where does this go? Good morning to you, Victor. Good morning. Well, I. I think we're seeing the redemptive quality of God to redeem what the worst evil could be. And, you know, God knows how to take what Satan meant for the worst, to destroy, to crush, to depress and turn it really for his glory, which is a miracle in itself. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. You know, I know one of the speakers. I'm trying to remember who it was. I think it was Pastor Rob McCoy. That's right. It was Pastor Rob McCoy, Charlie Kirk's pastor, who said, hey, pastors, wake up. Because there are a lot of folks that have been stirred by this that either don't know God or want to reconnect with God who are going to come into your churches and you better be ready to really preach the word of God in the most fervent way you ever have and to not dismiss this younger generation. I'm curious to get your take about the church's responsibility. I hate to call it the church's responsibility, it sounds so religionese, if you will, but, you know, these pastors need to step up and be a new black robe regiment that we had in this country in the revolutionary wartime where they're, they're literally active in what's going on to save this country and this nation. I agree. The Holy Spirit is moving on people's hearts, and that is the job of the church, to present the gospel, to equip saints for the work of the ministry. But so many pastors will still try to stay soft and milquetoast, and that's not what people want now. People want the truth of what God is able to do in their lives through his power and redemption of the cross. And Rob's a dear friend and he brought it. And, and pastors just need to understand when people are coming to your church, it's for a reason and for those that people aren't coming, we'll check yourself because you're missing the opportunity to be part of what God is doing past. Pastor McCoy did a great job. I know him as well. He's a dear friend. And I watch. I was in the hall and when he asked people to stand up for those who wanted to recommit or give their lives to Christ. I saw was looking at the crowd there are so many people stood up. So really good stuff. Victor Marks, thanks for being here. Appreciate your time.

The details on the president's schedule coming up. Plus, chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn standing by as we speak to discuss the latest happenings at the White House and within the administration.

Good morning America.

[A]

Welcome to American sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.

[B]

Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

[A]

The American dream is still alive.

[B]

I'm David Brody. I'm Terrence.

[A]

And I'm Doc Cucina.

[B]

Welcome back, Everybody, to the second hour of American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming to you from D.C. we've got Dr. G. She's in West Palm. We have T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, guys. So President Trump set to speak 9:50am Eastern. He'll speak to the UN yesterday he was speaking and talking about Tylenol. The way to fuse those two, I've decided is that after he speaks to the U.N. i think world leaders are going to need a few Tylenols.

[A]

Dr. G. Yeah, no doubt. I think we all might. But hey, don't take him if you're pregnant. Right? It is, it is going to get, it is going to get interesting, Terrence. And as you said, a lot of the back channel conversations, I personally loved what Ambassador Huckabee said about whatever Trump's going to say. I feel like he might have some inside information as to that speech. Terrence?

[B]

Yeah, the text of the speech is out. I've gone through some of it in long, long and short of it here. President Trump, as you said back on the world stage together today, not together, but today. He's set to deliver remarks before the United Nations General Assembly. That's going to happen here within the hour or so. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt saying the president will tout the renewal of American strength around the world. He'll also highlight his efforts to help in several wars. 47 also expected to use the podium to lay out his thoughts on how globalist institutions have significantly decayed the world order. Levitt saying that he'll, quote, articulate his straightforward and constructive vision for the world after being front and center before the United Nations General Assembly. The commander in chief will then go behind closed doors for one on one meetings with UN Secretary General, also the leader of Ukraine, Argentina and the European Union, as well as some Arab leaders. It's going to be a long day. The Trump administration in the meantime is warning pregnant women against taking Tylenol effective immediately. The FDA will be notifying physicians at the use of of acid. Well, let's see how we say that. Acetaminophen, acetaminophen, is that okay? Which is basically commonly known as Tylenol during pregnancy can be associated with a very increased risk of autism. So taking Tylenol is not good. President Trump, I'm with you. I just like to call it Tylenol. I'm not going to even try to say that other word. The president also pointing out that autism rates have increased exponentially in the last few decades. He says the statistics show that 1 in 10,000 children had autism just a few decades ago. Today that number is at 1 in 31. That's a quick check of your headlines. I'll have more headlines coming up here in just a little bit. But first let's get a quick check of your coast to coast forecast. Weather Nation meteorologist Adrian Hernandez joining us. Adrian, depending on where you are, you might be dealing with the possibility of severe weather today, is that right? Yes, Terrence, you're absolutely right. And a lot of that is due to this frontal boundary that's starting to stretch over the Southern Plains later on today. We do have the potential of some severe weather, mainly staying around Arkansas, closer to Fort Smith, some nasty storms over by Missouri by 1pm and it stretches all the way out of the Front Range in areas of Nebraska, picking up showers in the afternoon hours. But as we start to get into the overnight, that's when some even more nasty storms are heading down towards Arkansas. That's where we're seeing the best threat for severe weather, at least for today. More showers and storms associated with the front as it continues to move off towards the east. As we get into the weekend, all that moisture is going to funnel itself over to the east coast, keeping it there while high pressure will do a great job of clearing out most of the rest of the country. As we start to get into the next couple days and well into the weekend, the severe threat is going to be elevated out in Arkansas we also have flood alerts from now all the way through Wednesday from Salina down to Wichita down to Fort Smith and Little Rock. These flood alerts will be staying in place till Wednesday since severe outlook and the highlighted yellow is where we have a better chance of maybe seeing a very slight chance for an isolated spin up. It's only 5% out by Fort Smith and 2% in the surrounding green areas. But since these storms are likely to hit overnight, do want to advise everybody to make sure to keep those advisories on into the overnight hours. Back to you, Terrence. Absolutely. Great advice there, Adrian. Appreciate it, my friend. We'll talk soon. All right, let's get you back over to David Brody now. David, a big day at the United Nations. A lot happening coming out of the White House and related to the White House. Oh, there's no doubt about that. Thanks, T. Bates. All right, and specific, specifically, as you said, we're waiting President Trump's remarks to the UN that will happen in less than an hour. But in addition, President Trump hosting this high stakes summit on the sidelines with Arab and Muslim leaders at the UN to discuss ending the Gaza war. The White House is inviting leaders from Saudi Arabia, the uae, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey to engage in some sort of post war plan, including possible U.S. troop deployments to replace Israeli forces. We'll see about that. The summit comes as more than 140 countries push for Palestinian statehood at the UN these bunch of bozos, I'm sorry, that was an ad lib. Leaving the US And Israel isolated on the global stage. Trump's diplomatic move could redefine American policy in the Middle east and impact the future of the Gaza conflict. All right, join US now is RAV's chief White House correspondent, Brian Glenn. Hey, Brian. So U. S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee was with us last hour. He said a lawnmower has more power than the U. N. What, what are you expecting to hear today? Good morning. Yeah, good morning, David. Well, this will certainly be a very interesting appearance with President Trump at this United Nations. Addressing the United nations in about 50 minutes or so than it was the first time. I mean, President Trump going to call out the good, the bad, the ugly, the disasters that are happening around the world right now. But when you look at that plan that would have the Arab nations coming together to provide some type of security force for that Palestinian statehood and then perhaps the UN Being involved, involved in rebuilding Gaza, I don't think that's going to fare too popular amongst obviously amongst Israel leaders and United States President Trump speaking out against dozens of those countries that have recognized the Palestinian statehood. But today is going to be a very interesting speech by the president to address this. And also, David, I mean, remember, we still have Russia, you, Ukraine conflict going on right now and another war that President Trump has really committed to end. But this should be a very interesting conference today and of course, meeting with other world leaders, Argentina and Ukraine, a little bit after this speech. Hey, Brian, I wanted to talk about Cash Patel, but as I was listening to you, I'm curious from the White House perspective if there's a real expectation for some actual action and results of today's talks, or is this just really bilateral and multilateral talks and we're going to get back to business as usual and not much is going to get done after it all? I certainly hope we have action. I think we've all been talking for far too long about a plan to end this conflict, not only between Israel and Hamas, but also from the Russian Ukraine side. So I'm hoping the dialogue gets pushed forward. But when you have countries like France, Malta and some others that seem to kind of take that backseat approach to wanting to really engage and fight and help solve this war, I'm not sure how quickly that will overall push this effort. But I'm hoping we see more action than just continual talk about it.

[A]

All right, listen, I'll talk about Kash Patel then, if you like. Terrence, would you like me to do that? Please do that. Solid. All right. FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the agency is investigating the possibility of accomplices in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Patel stated the FBI is pursuing every lead and examining multiple aspects of the case, including the location of the shot, potential signaling behavior, communications on platforms like Discord. The alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder, and prosecutors have announced their intent to seek the death penalty. Patel emphasized the FBI's commitment to answering every question until justice is served. Brian, not a day goes by that I don't get 50 friends sending me, there's no way that guy shot Charlie, at least not as the actual death blow. And, you know, they're sending me pictures of this stuff and things slow down. And some of these people are former FBI who are used to analyzing this stuff. So I'm glad. I'm glad Patel is looking into it. What are you hearing, though, on Capitol Hill? What's the rumor, Mel?

[B]

Yeah, well, I'm just like you, Dr. Jean. I've seen dozens of videos that maybe counter some of the messaging coming out of the FBI now, I'm not discrediting the FBI's information right now. I'm not saying they're not doing a good job. But I think it's encouraging to know that Kash Patel is concerned, considering other theories and maybe other plans. I saw one video, Dr. Gina, where the guy disassembled the same exact rifle that the shooter had, and it took him three times the amount of time to do it with all the different bolts. You have to unpack and to put it in the same size backpack that Robinson had. And he said there's absolute, absolutely no way he did that in that quick amount of time. And that the rifle was able to be completely hidden in that backpack when he got off the roof. There's just so many things. Then you have the plane that was flying over that area that supposedly had the transponder turned off. Now, that was later cleared up. That transponder was not turned off. They just had a brief blips in the information being decoded back to the. I guess the air base. But. But there's so many questions, and I think that's a healthy environment that we look at every option. We look at the hand gestures of the individuals behind. And next to Charlie Kirk right before the shooting happened. I think it's important to look at that. There's some people that say that that is a code for letting the shooter know that the time is now. We don't know that. We can't confirm that. But I do think it's a healthy environment to not just close the books on this investigation. Investigation and look at all the evidence before we go ahead and say that's it. That's the way it went down. Case closed.

[A]

Yeah. What about the people out in the audience, Brian, that were taking credit immediately for shooting him, that obviously didn't shoot him. But why were they so relaxed and knowing they weren't. They weren't, like, hiding and running like everyone else in the audience? They're saying, I did it. That's not a. That's not a normal reaction to something that just happened right in front of you.

[B]

I agree. If you were. Do you remember the older gentleman that was brought to the ground that they initially thought that was suspect? That guy was a known activist, political activist in that area. And through facial recognition, I was told that's how they knew who that guy was initially, and that's why they thought he was a suspect. Now, clearly he was not the shooter, so he was cleared. But there's so many questions of people in the crowd, even the gentleman that turns around and starts chanting USA or I guess celebrating that shot. Why did he do that? Who does he know?

[A]

Bizarre.

[B]

Yeah, it is bizarre.

[A]

And why wasn't there drone coverage and all the rest of the things? And by the way, why don't we have more information on Butler and that shooting and why are we not covering roofs when Butler happened from roof. There's so many questions. I'm glad he's on it, David.

[B]

Yeah, well, questions abound and questions should be asked. The question will be what if Cash, Patel and Bongino come out in X amount of weeks or whatever and say there's nothing there? I mean, that's Cash, Patel and Bongino. Is that going to end it? I mean, those are quote our guys.

[A]

If they answer the questions, if they answer the questions about the trajectory, I mean, there are big questions about that. The sound resonation. I've watched videos on that. There's so much. If they answer those questions, say, well, this is how that happened and here's an expert who can explain it if they, if they answer the question. But right now there's too many questions. People have too many questions. We need to get to the bottom.

[B]

Of all of them and we should be asking these questions. Thanks, guys. Brian, great to see you as always. Good to see you guys.

[A]

Thanks, Brian.

[A]

It's time now to drain the swamp. And this morning, the target is the View.

[B]

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr says it may be time to investigate whether ABC's daytime talk show is breaking broadcast rules, but why?

[A]

The FCC's equal time rule says networks.

[B]

Must give candidates fair opportunity unless the program counts as a bona fide news show.

[A]

But Carr says, does anyone really think the View qualifies as news?

[B]

Between January and April, The View hosted 63 liberal guests, including nine Democratic politicians.

[A]

And not a single conservative. The show is against President Trump and have also put it in the administration's crosshairs. And now reports suggest the View could be next on the chopping block. So the question this morning Will the FCC finally hold liberal networks to the same standard they've used to censor conservative voices? We will certainly be watching and we want to know what you, our viewers, think as well. Let us know on Rumble or Getter. Hop on and let your voice be heard.

This is the Secretary General, Secretary General Gutierrez speaking right now. We of course are awaiting President Trump's arrival. President Trump is set to speak about 9:50 Eastern Time. The moment he takes the podium, we'll take you there live. In the meantime, we are getting ready for the opening bell of New York Stock Exchange which is set to ring here in about seven minutes or so. I can tell you that pre market trading is kind of a mixed bag. As you can see, the Dow and NASDAQ are both in the green. The S&P 500, however, is down. It's about flat or just even in the red. Just in General, that's really the only negative spot on our board. We'll, of course, continue to check it all out for you, and we'll take you to New York and the New York Stock Exchange for the opening bell here in short order. First, though, let's get you over to my good friend David Brody. David, good morning. Good morning, Team Bates. All right, time now for our daily dose of dollars and common sense. That would be where American Sunrise Early Edition host and the guy behind Jake's take substack Jake Novak comes into the picture. Jake, there you are. You're actually in the picture. So I. I know you hate talking about Nvidia, but you kind of have to today, I guess, because of a little thing called one. Can I do the mini me or whatever? $1 billion. Go ahead, please. 100. $100 billion. Oh, my. Sorry, I missed a couple zeros.

[A]

Go.

[B]

Yeah. 100 billion. So yesterday, Nvidia announced they're gonna spend a hundred billion dollars investing in open AI. Now, Nvidia is that big company. They are the chip company that is at the top of the computer chips that are needed to process AI. And for those of you, the markets really love this. The first reason why they love it is, David, it's like a click. It's like. It's like a peer pressure. The markets are dying for justification for all the money that they're investing in AI. So whenever they hear about news of someone putting big money in, it's kind of like living in a neighborhood and finding out that someone bought the house next to you for a lot more than it's worth. They're desperate for this kind of news, and so they got that news. But also remember, Nvidia's got everything invested in these AI chips. They need the companies that develop the actual AI programs to have enough money to develop more things to do with those chips. So it's basically like paying to make sure that somebody needs their product. It's pretty smart. But don't forget, this is still all about, hey, we spent a lot of money on this AI. Everyone gets a little nervous when they see how much money they're spending, and so their shaky hands get a little bit more steady when they see someone else putting huge money into it, too. Yeah, for sure. By the way, my suggestion for Nvidia is to put an eye before the end. That would just help me as an anchor. I just want to let you know. All right, let's go from the penthouse of In Video to the outhouse of Spirit Airlines. Don't get Me started with Spirit. I have ptsd. I guess that's where the company is right now, the quote, outhouse. Tell us more. Yeah, they are very close to. Of course they're already in bankruptcy for the umpteen time, but they are very close to being completely discontinued. They're just announcing about 1800 layoffs. I don't know how many people they have left to lay off at Spirit Airlines. And just want to remind you this is very much the result of the Biden administration. Spirit Airlines was all ready to merge with JetBlue about a year and a half ago. The Biden administration blocked it. They blocked it for racial reasons. The Biden administration had a racist view that only black people are interested in flying Spirit Airlines. This is all true and it's all documented. We can talk about it another time. And they didn't want JetBlue, the white Mormon owned run company, company used to be Mormon run airline, buying it and possibly raising prices just a little bit. This was a ridiculous policy by the Biden administration. I don't like mergers all the time, but Spirit needed this merger. It would have been helped for. It would have been helpful for JetBlue also. And Joe Biden was doing a very paternalistic, racist policy here in blocking that merger. Now they've killed the airline. So I hope they're happy. So just any sort of prediction, the old Jake Novak crystal ball in terms of Spirit Airlines. When the Spirit goes to the sky, if you will, and just. And it's over for Spirit, I mean, you think it's just a matter of time here, Any kind of sense of, of how long they can survive in a situation like this? Yeah, you know, they're not going to. They're hoping to hit maybe a home run with Christmas travel. When that doesn't happen, they'll have to announce a discontinuation. So look, for the spring of next year, that's my prediction. Yeah, the thing with Spirit Airlines, you know, if you actually like start Google it or you know, you go to orbits or something and you see a flight for like 49 and you look, oh, wow, that's fantastic. I'd go to Vegas for 49. Let me tell. Oh, Spirit Airlines. Yeah, it's like, I'm sorry, I'm not taking Spirit. Just not gonna do it. All right, so I guess we should have a beer maybe in a couple hours. It is a holiday after all. Lashana Tova. Happy New Year. But we have a new top selling beer in America. Drumroll, please. I'm not gonna do a drum Roll. I'll spit on myself. What is it? Michelob Ultra is now the new top selling beer. It's been coming on like, you know, hot, you know, just really, really hot in the last couple of years. It's doing very well. It's the packaging. They've done some very good advertising. Remember Bud Light, David, was number one in America for many, many years. And then when they decided to have that transgender man do their ads and that spurred a boycott of Bud Light, it got knocked out of the top. Then Modelo for a while took its spot. Kind of a surprise contender there and not exactly a household name even a few years ago, but now Modelo's been knocked out. But here's the kicker, David. Michelob Ultra and Bud Light are owned by the same company, AB InBev. The old Anheuser Busch. Just goes to show when you go up against big corporate America, it's tough to do boycotts. I'm not discouraging you from trying, but just don't forget these companies have a lot of brands and they'll somehow win in the end anyway. Although I do think that they're still, they lost a lot of money because that Bud Light boycott, even though they've recovered somewhat with Michelob Ultra, will Bud Light ever recover? I mean, what's your, what's your sense? I know it's within the same company, but I mean, just kind of a market brand standpoint. You think they can ever recover? Is this just a time situation? And then, then we'll see a little bit of time. But what they're going to need to do is find some way to get back. I mean, it's kind of like Cracker Barrel. I mean, it's going to be difficult for that. It's going to take a very long time. What they're, what they'll probably do is eventually take some resources away from Bud Light and see if this Michelob Ultra thing works. But if they're smart, they won't make the same mistakes and they'll make Michelobulch. Right now they're, they're kind of marketing it as like the athlete's beer. Very athletic commercials, very active folks. And maybe they can do that for a little while. But if they also get some, a little bit more American type branding, maybe an American flag on their cans, things like that, maybe that'll help them. But no, I don't think Bud Light will ever be number one again. I really don't. Yeah, how about a couch potato? There? Just put a couch potato on a beer that'd probably work. All right. That would, that would relate to a lot of folks. All right, heading back to T. Bates. Thanks so much. I appreciate it, Jake. I didn't even say goodbye. I'm so rude. But I got to get to T. Bates.

Together we can right the course of America. We're getting ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. We're also monitoring the goings and comings at the United Nations General assembly as President Trump is set to speak week there within the hour. We, of course, will take you there for that live. In the meantime, the applause is underway there at the New York Stock Exchange, which means we're moments away from the opening bell and getting an idea of how the markets are faring as we start this Tuesday of trading. Pre market trading was looking pretty good, so hopefully it will look even better now that the markets are officially opening. You hear the opening bell, ladies and gentlemen, which means there are people rushing on the floor to hand over those tickets and to get those first trades in. And just like that, it looks like the Dow is up. But the S P 500 and the NASDAQ, both in the red, they just fell in pre market trading. At least one of those indices was in the green, so they're just down slightly. But there's still a lot of work to be done throughout the day, so hopefully the markets will get back up. If you happen to be stressed about back taxes, maybe you missed the April deadline or your books are a mess. You definitely don't want to wait because the IRS is cracking down.

[A]

All right. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Gina. Thank you. Thanks for joining us this morning. We invite you to hop on over in our conversation on YouTube, getter and rumble. We'd like to take it to the chat. You agree, you disagree, you have another idea? Put it all in there. We also like to talk a lot about food. I'm not going to lie. It is now time, though, to take the political pulse of America and the beat. Today, the Trump administration made a bold medical announcement linking the common pain reliever Tylenol to a possible autism risk for unborn children. Officials also are promoting leucovorin, it is a vitamin derived drug as a potential treatment that's shown promising improvements in speech and understanding for some children with autism. President Trump and his health team say they're relying on gold standard science, but critics warn the research is still in very early stages and could mislead expectant. With autism numbers rising dramatically, this push could change how America thinks about prenatal health, medication use and the promise of new treatments. For more, let's bring in Dr. Peter Hilgartner. He is the COO for the foundation for Integrative Medicine. It's good to have you, Dr. Hilgartner. We had Dr. Thorpe on earlier from the Wellness Company and he said he feels like, okay, maybe the Tylenol has some, maybe it primes the pumps, but that it's the vaccines that he's really concerned about in childhood and he's concerned. I think that this is a bit of a smoke and mirrors kind of a thing. I'm encouraged that we're getting real studies. I'm encouraged that we're asking hard questions. I'm encouraged that we're not just laying down for whatever pharma tells us. What say you?

[B]

Well, I agree with you. And first, I want to thank you for having me on. And I also want to really acknowledge President Trump and Secretary Kennedy for actually bringing this conversation, which is a much needed conversation. It's been something that's been long delayed and I give them a lot of credit for wading into the minefield and actually bringing this topic to the forefront. When you have a problem that has gone from 1 in 2000 and in 40 years to 1 in 31, we know that there's a bigger problem at hand. I think what they talked about yesterday. Yes. Is acetaminophen. Is Tylenol implicated in there? Certainly, because it depletes glutathione from the body, which is your major antioxidant, which helps the immune system function, it helps the body detoxify. Not only are they prescribing it to women while they're pregnant, but they're also giving it to babies to ameliorate the fever that they get after the vaccine oftentimes. So just at a time that they've loaded them up with, you know, some of these potential heavy metals and other excipients, when the body actually needs the glutathione, they're giving it something that depletes. The other piece to the equation though, is the leucavorin. That's going to be a short term symptomatic solution. What we need to do is we need to pull the lens back and look at much broader perspective of the problem. My wife and I have been involved in this Sphere for almost 30 years now, in particular her work in clinical nutrition. What we don't hear spoken about enough is the foundational first principles of one, we've got to feed the body the right fuel, the right building materials, two, we've got to reduce the inflammation, and three, we've got to detoxify the babies. The other issue that we have, Dr. Gina, is that the first two years is really where the brain is developing the most that it will develop in your entire life. So during this critical phase, not only are we inducing a bunch of potentially toxic things, but we're overloading the system when the detoxification pathways, when the immune system is still building, and that creates a lot of problems. So I think from pulling the lens back into a 30,000 foot view, I applaud the efforts and I applaud the effort that the NIH has stood up. They have an entire branch that they're going to be moving into the ex basomics. That's what we need. We need a lot of a broader view, but we also need to incorporate the clinicians, the parents, we need to get all the stakeholders that are involved in this problem with autism because it is a national problem. When you've got 1 in 31 of our babies being born and coming down with a diagnosis of autism, that's a problem for the future of America.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And then you look at things like the Alzheimer's rates, which have just skyrocketed and the deaths, you know, you can't bring those children back. I'm in the process right now of detoxifying a puppy from a vaccine, if you can even believe it. And that's a Whole thing. And sad to watch, you know, perfectly healthy puppy. You get a vaccine and then, you know. But the veterinary industry is behind us here, as we witness Maha. And so we'll hope that, you know, all we're asking for, all any of us are asking for here is real research that's not funded by those who have a financial interest in selling a drug to fix it. That's it. That's all any of us are asking for. And Dr. Hilgardner, I appreciate your very innovative work and that of your wives. God bless you both in your continued effort to make America healthy again. Not to be trite, but that's what we're all trying to do.

[B]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[A]

Absolutely. All right, for more reaction, let's bring in the host of America's Voice Live, Steve Gruber. I mean, Steve, it's so important that we're asking these questions. Look, four or five years ago, during COVID however long ago that was, I've lost count. We couldn't even say these things. We couldn't say the word ivermectin. We would have been pulled off the air. Not by Rav. I'm talking about by the powers that be. We could. You know, we had to. We had to couch everything we said. How dare we ever question something as household as Tylenol? Steve, had you said that they'd had pitchforks at your door? We are in such an amazing time that we get to even ask these questions and look at real research and count on people like Secretary Kennedy to authentically take these issues on.

[B]

It is a remarkable time. You know, here's something. I was wondering if the doctor would have answered this question. I didn't realize this. And I saw this online. I said, well, that's not true, because I saw a statistic online that almost half of acute liver failure in adults in America is tied to acetaminophen, tied to Tylenol. I'm like, is that true? Yeah, 46%. It's right here. I looked at it and couldn't believe it. So, right. So if it says 46% of acute liver failure in America in adults is caused by Tylenol, why would you take it? I mean, obviously, why would. There are alternatives, right? Why would you take it? And why would I consider it safe for my unborn child if it's going to cause acute liver failure in adults? We know it crosses the placenta. I just heard the doctor talking about the formative years of children and having this in there. That's why glutathione which is the body's super, super savior, if you will. Master antioxidant, I guess I would call it. And so when that runs out, damage happens. I mean, it doesn't take a scientist to look at this, but I'm looking at all these people online saying, well, you know, they first diagnosed autism in 1911, and town hall's been around since 1955. Okay. And every single drug that's ever been pulled from the market was once labeled safe and effective. How about you let that sink in for a minute? Every single drug ever pulled from the market was once labeled safe and effective. Look, it's worth asking questions here.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If I'm a pregnant woman today, I'm not taking Tylenol. Yeah, I'm not.

[A]

But, Steve, I think. I think what Dr. Thorpe said earlier, I think that this is really important. This isn't the answer to what happened with autism. We have to take a hard look at vaccines. It could be that Tylenol paves the. Makes the path. Right. For the vaccines to be even worse. Because you're doing what. You're damaging their defenses. Right. And then you're injecting all these heavy metals and foreign substances, and then what are you doing when the baby strikes the fever from the injections, from the vaccine, you give them Tylenol. So I think there's a lot more questions to be asked as well, right along these lines.

[B]

Well, and I want just to. Just to quickly add to that. Earlier, Dr. Thorpe had said, this is a smokescreen. What is a Tylenol smokescreen? Or whatever we call smoke screen Tylenol. But help me understand that, because he was saying that this is more about the vaccines. Okay, that. I agree. But wouldn't RFK Jr be of that same mind? Like, I mean, it's not like the Biden administration's in charge here. And I get it. It's the cdc. It's the state. You got a lot of actors there. But, I mean, still, Steve, RFK is kind of leading this. So where's the smokescreen? Exactly. Wouldn't they be the ones, the first ones to say, hey, be careful on the vaccines as well? I don't understand the smokescreen part of it. I don't understand that either. And. And I'll just say this. Let them. Do you do explain it.

[A]

I don't think he was accusing rfk. Remember that they're dealing with these massive bureaucracy. Sounded like there are a lot of people. I heard that, too, but that's not what. That's not what I think he meant. I think what he meant is, first of all, I think what Secretary Kennedy is doing is as the information, he's being so transparent. And I know this man, and I'm telling you the sincerity is through the roof. And I think what he's doing is as these studies come available, David Brody, he's making them available to us. We don't have the conclusive studies on vaccine autism relationship yet. That is the plum. Right? That is what we've all been talking about for decades and decades. I've been screaming this from the rooftops ever since for 20, more than 20 years. Lots of us have got it, but this is what they have so far. So I think to bring that to the public's attention in a timely manner, you just don't wait until you have everything to bring us a little bit. We're not used to that as an American public. We're used to getting information when the bureaucrats want to give it to us because it makes them look good. And he's not doing that. And I think that's important to know out.

[B]

Interesting perspective there. All right, Steve, let's switch to kind of the news of the day. President Trump, of course, set to speak at the United Nations General assembly here. Let me check my clock in about five minutes. That's when the schedule has him taking the podium. Your expectations for what we'll hear, what is it that you want to hear? The President address. Well, speaking of fact checking, I had to do this yesterday concerning the recognition of Palestine, which apparently the uk, Canada and others are doing now. More than 140 countries recognizing something that doesn't actually exist at the moment. I'm confused by that. I assume that will come up in conversations. I don't know what to expect except that I expect him to put America first every single time. America's concerns, America's needs, America's priorities will be front and center, whatever that means. If it means no nuclear weapons for Iran, it'll mean that. If it means negotiation, negotiations with Russia to end the war with Ukraine, it'll mean that. If it means stop the mass importation of people to the Western world through open borders, it will mean that. If it means the world economy getting set straight, it will mean that Donald Trump is going to stand there and deliver for the American people, because that's what he does every day. You don't have to agree with him every day. You don't have to like what his decisions are. You don't have to like it or agree with it at all. But you do know this. He's looking out for America every single day. Even if you disagree with him along the way or don't like the way he uses his words, that's fine. He always puts America first and that's what he's going to do today in front of the world, in front of 190 nations, I'm still shocked that 140 have recognized Palestine, a country that doesn't actually exist. But that's where we find ourselves in 2025 and with a commander in chief that's not afraid to say my country comes first. Everybody else somewhere else. Hopefully he'll call for new green marble behind the UN where he speaks because he doesn't like that green marble. It's cheap. He said it. I hope he does it. I'm just, I can live with it.

[A]

It's technically Chartreuse, David Brody, not to correct you.

[B]

Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, my goodness. Well, well, well. It's not real chicken each other now too. Okay.

[A]

It's not real flattering to most, most complexions though, so I understand why President Trump has a problem with it. Wow, did we digress in that conversation. All over the mattress. Steve Gruber, always fun with you. Thanks for being here.

[B]

Thank you. Thanks, Steve.

[A]

Coming up on American Sunrise, legal expert Chartreuse says the man accused of trying to assassinate President Trump is running out of options. I'm actually a failed design student and that's why I know that if you really want to know the truth. With evidence stacked against him, his only hope may be a last ditch move to sway the jury. We'll discuss that and whatever other color questions we might have. Also later, a Boston nonprofit bringing joy to kids who lost parents to gun violence parties from above is giving them a free birthday celebration to help heal the heartache. That story when American Sunrise returns.

So download Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back, everyone. You're looking live at President Trump arriving at the United nations, he and the first lady getting ready to go up the escalator there. The President is set to address the United Nations General assembly here in just moments. It is 9:49. He is scheduled to speak at 9:50am Eastern Time. So he's probably going to go directly to the podium to address the United Nations General Assembly. We're talking, we're hearing, excuse me, that his remarks will involve pushing back against globalist institutions across the world. The President will also talk about American exceptionalism and of course, highlight his America first agenda during these remarks. Again, there you see the President shaking hands as he enters the United Nations General assembly in preparation for his remarks to the unga. As we continue to watch this, let's bring in David and Dr. Gina as well. David, you were saying there are a number of things you're going to be looking for in the speech, but also on the sidelines of this speech, he's going to be meeting with a number of world leaders, specifically Arab leaders. I think that's potentially the bigger story. That's coming out of today. It will be the bigger story. And I think we'll have more details in the morning on the show, for sure. I just. On an aesthetic standpoint, I thought it was interesting. Was he walking up the escalator?

[A]

Yeah. Was it broken? That was so bizarre. I noticed the same thing.

[B]

I mean, we give them $10 billion. We give the UN $10 billion. Can we get out? Can we get a working escalator? But anyhow, that's a little separate thing. That. Look, look, he's going to be railing against global incentives institutions. And guess what? He's speaking to a. Wait for it, global institution. Yeah. Right. So, I mean, you know, basically, he's going to be criticizing the UN and he'll do it in Trump's. In a typical Trump way, which is no nonsense, not holding back, but also understanding the moment. And, you know, he has decorum as well. When he needs to have the decorum, he. He'll do what he needs to do, but he will tell the truth for sure, and he'll do it boldly. Dr. G and Gina. He's gonna be speaking to an adversarial crowd. It's not like this is a crowd that's pro Trump.

[A]

They're adversarial terrors, but they respect him. It's not like it was in his first term. Certainly not when old sleepy Joe got dusted out and dragged up there. Couldn't have made it up there. Hate to say it, Joe Biden could not have made it up that escalator. He'd have had to stop halfway down and halfway up, and who knows what would have happened if that had happened to Joe.

[B]

Take the elevator.

[A]

Exactly. That had to take him back down and cart him off. Who knows? But no. So you have him coming in from such a position of strength that, you know, they don't need to like you, but they need to respect you. And I really think that's the situation the President Trump comes into. And they know that he's going to be uncompromising where America's best interest is concerned. And I think that that is. It just feels. Everything feels so different than it felt with Biden there, knowing we were wholly unprotected and had nobody really on our side. This is, this is just. Feels a lot better. And, you know, they can't bully him. They're not going to mess with him. They can't mess with him. He outsmarts them. He outstrengths them. I don't think that's a word. But if it were, he would do it. And he's just, he's generally made of better stuff than that entire institution, as you put it, David, that he's rallying against, to the institution.

[B]

I want to know, David, that tone and language are going to be when it comes to the Palestinian statehood issue, because he could get up there and say, we have a fundamental disagreement. Okay. And that, that's kind of like the mid range stuff, or is he gonna go much further than that? Is he gonna say, you know, what you, what you all are doing? Not that he would say it like that, but what you folks are doing here is abhorrent, is wrong. I don't think he's gonna go that far. But, but I, but I do think he, the question is, how far will he go in calling out these countries? That's what I'm gonna be looking for specifically.

[A]

Well, when he's, psychologically, when he's in front of people that he likes and agrees with, that's when he tends to yell and use harsher language. It's interesting, it's almost a reverse psychology. When he's in front of people that he doesn't really respect or like, he tends to kind of give it this, y' all are gonna do this. And it's kind of a very chilled, relaxed, kind of almost, almost a bureaucratic tone. Terrence.

[B]

You know, one of the things that I've noticed is, yeah, we, we take a lot and look at what President Trump says, but I like to look at what his counterparts are saying. Whoever's sitting across from him in his presence, they say one thing and they're very conciliatory. But then behind closed doors or in public, when they're away from him, they have policies and they say things that I feel like counter. What they've said publicly alongside him is am I seeing that wrong or do you guys see that as well?

[A]

And it, it's kind of angering what, two faced politicians?

[B]

Okay, fair enough. But I think you get my point, Dr. Cheetah. Fair enough. But are you talking, when you say counterparts, are you talking about other world leaders? I'm talking about other world leaders. Who are you talking about exactly? I, I, you can go down the list. You can go with Keir Starmer, you can go with Vander, the vander chick from the European Union. You can go with pretty much anyone who, yeah, I guess Vander chick. The news guy calls you the vander chick. Sorry, NATO. NATO is not happy with you right now. Just so you know. I, I know it, I can't think Vander land, whatever her name, you are. You, you know, get the point.

[A]

You better keep your day job because NBC is never hiring you after you said the Vander chick.

[B]

Yeah, I know. I. I know. But to my point, you know, there are a number of world leaders, pretty much anyone that President Trump has met with in the Oval Office or no matter where, when they're sitting alongside President Trump, they're saying all the right things, they tend to agree with him. Even if he says something that, you know, they don't agree with, they tend to yield. And then publicly, when they're on their own or when they're. Particularly when you're talking about the European leaders, when they're together, they say all these things that seem to counter their posture with President Trump. Go ahead. What were you saying, David? Were you responding there? Sorry. Look, ultimately, I said I was gonna say it doesn't matter. Is he coming? You say, we gotta go. Is he coming to the podium yet? All right, well, let me know when he does. But ultimately, look, it doesn't matter, because Trump knows that the ultimate trump card is that he controls the situation and that. That. That countries need the United States more than we need those countries, and that's all that matters. So they can say whatever they want behind closed doors, but so what? Then it's just a bunch of, you know, school kids in fifth grade complaining because they didn't get the peanut butter and jelly sandwich today. It doesn't matter. Gina. Okay. Yeah.

[A]

I am personally looking forward to whatever posturing President Trump does. I see this as almost comedic because the UN Is so deplatformed at this point in the United States, people don't listen to them. They make no difference. My dad. My dad was a big liberal, as many of you in the audience know. We used to go back and forth on this all the time. My dad thought the UN Was the solution. And a lot of liberals really, truly feel this way. David, you talk to them every day, living among the Beltway types, and they really believe that the UN should be given ultimate power to control all the nations, and that if we would just submit to the power of the un, the world would be at peace and it would be a better place. It's such a fallacy. It's as absolutely, you know, fantastical as communism. It sounds so good. It doesn't work. It's fantasy. But a lot of liberals really do subscribe to this. So these people deem themselves very important. Most of us never heard of them, and they make no real difference in our life. And I can tell you the average American doesn't even know this is happening and honestly doesn't care much.

[B]

Oh, they don't care. They don't care. And good for them.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, honestly, when I say good for them, I mean, don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm interested and we're all interested to hear what President Trump has to say because, you know, he's not only just a world leader, but he is the world leader. When I say the world leader, I mean the United States is, you know, the best country in the world. So we care from that standpoint. But I guarantee you, sitting around the dinner table today saying, hey, did you hear the UN General assembly met today?

[A]

That's people who teach in universities and ivory towers are the only ones who are going to be having that conversation, the only ones who care. And no one listens to them either. Guess what? And I'll tell you who else doesn't really care what any of these people have to say, and that's President Trump.

[B]

President Trump agreed. That's true. He's going to move forward as he decides to move, and he is coming to this meeting with the interests of America first. That really is the only thing he cares about. And I think that's justifiably so, that he's going to put the interests of the American people first, that he's going to put the interests of this country first. And even in those sideline conversations, I'm really curious to see how that looks. I'm curious to see what posture he takes, but more importantly, what comes out of those conversations. I'm really hoping that there will be results, some tangible results that come out of those conversations.

[A]

Have we ever seen tangible results come out of the UN Asking for a friend? I mean, really, have we ever.

[B]

No. No. But have we also often seen, and I'll say often seen President Trump come in with this sort of influence, and I think that's what makes today a little bit different, is that President Trump is there. He's got now he's got some experience under his belt. And when he speaks, everyone else shuts up and listens.

[A]

That's right. Well, speaking of, when War Room comes on, everybody shuts up and listens, too. And that is coming up next. You guys. Our time to talk is over, but we will be back with you tomorrow morning, 8am, 7am for the early show with Jake Novak. War Room, as I said, coming up next with the great Steve Bannon.
